A 5 day shamanic journey into Eros as Medicine. Learn the necessary skills to safely work with your body, emotions & sexual energy as a profound transformative teacher and guide. Shed your shame and journey with your shadows in order to discover the ecstatic innocence at the heart of your primal nature.
“Thanks to the work of Joy, I can truly and honestly say that I’ve found what brings my soul to life and the person I am now is hugely different to what I thought of myself before”
We are tapping into the power of Eros, life force energy, to burn through all the blocks between you and your soul's fullest expression in the world.
Eros is the great magnifier for all the places within yourself that you don't like to look at - a perfect medicine to use shamanically to unearth the deeply ingrained patterns that are holding you back. It's not necessarily about having a good time - it's about being with whatever comes up, with acceptance and compassion.
It begins with an in depth learning about the essentials of boundaries, consent, and emotional maturity, through building a healthy relationship with your own body and the way eros moves through it, to (optionally) sharing it with others and divinity itself.
We are picking apart all of the baggage that we have confused with eros, and discovering the pure signal underneath the noise. We are getting back in touch with the sense of wonder, magic and joy in your relationship with your self and the world around you before you learned that there was anything to be ashamed or scared of, opening a pathway for the divine to flow through you.
"In the presence of love, all that does not know it is love yet, comes up to be met by love"
“The worst thing we ever did
was put God in the sky
out of reach pulling the divinity
from the leaf,
sifting out the holy from our bones,
insisting God isn’t bursting dazzlement
through everything we’ve made
a hard commitment to see as ordinary,
stripping the sacred from everywhere
to put in a cloud man elsewhere,
prying closeness from your heart.
The worst thing we ever did
was take the dance and the song
out of prayer
made it sit up straight
and cross its legs
removed it of rejoicing
wiped clean its hip sway,
its questions,
its ecstatic yowl,
its tears.
The worst thing we ever did is pretend
God isn’t the easiest thing
in this Universe
available to every soul
in every breath.”
“It was the most powerful enlightenment I’ve met so far in my spiritual quest. This medicine of Eros is beyond the plant medicine journeys that i have encountered with myself and I do love them so so much. This medicine is alive in your body to access at any given moment you choose.”
